2014 is drawing to a close and it's been a mixed one for the blog, with life getting in the way quite frequently. Nevertheless, there have been a few highlights in Latin America and in my posts. There's no question about the stand-out LatAm event of the year for me: it was Estela de Carlotto of the Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo discovering her own grandchild in August. A truly amazing moment, the kind that you didn't dare think would happen. There was a massive outpouring of emotion from Argentina, and indeed the world, in response.
These are my top five posts of the year:
"Escrache" is word of the year for Fundéu BBVA - 1 January
Book review: Carmen Castillo's Un día de octubre en Santiago - 8 March
Argentina: Grandmothers' president finds her grandson - 6 August
Peru: Exhibition of victims' clothing - 10 September
Response to "Memory is not history"- 15 September
